| | Adjudication No. 750 (September 1994) [1994] APC 59 |
 | | The Illawarra Mercury, in its edition of 30 November 1993, reported the death of Leeanne Boatswain, an invalid pensioner, under the headline "Disabled woman, 27, slain - Nowra Murder". |
 | | The Council upheld the complaint against the headline in the Illawarra Mercury on the grounds that it was not substantiated by the body of the story, which noted, among other things, the possibility of death by an epileptic fit. |
 | | The Illawarra Mercury had published the name of the deceased in the belief that it had been cleared by the police for publication. |
